T 0 aZZ whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, Enos E. Colin, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in an Antifreezing S111 Cock, of which thefollowing is a specification. 7 w I invention relates tococks and more particularly to sill cocks, the'primary object of which is to provide a device of this character. in which the valve mechanlsm 1s positioned at such a remote distance" from proper drainage, thus preventing'the deposit of water in the parts.

Other objects and advantages of the in vention will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same, v 7

Figure 1, is a longitudinal view ofthe invention as a whole;

Figure 2, is a transverse sectional view on line 22 of- Figure '1; V Figure 3, is a transverse sectional view of the valve mechanism on line 3-3 o'f'Flgure 1 and a Figure 4 is adetail sectionof the valve rod.

In the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration, I have shown a-preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates a faucet having the usual bore 6 from which extends a. discharge pipe 7 inclined downwardly at an angle thereto. The discharge pipe 7 has its free extremity exteriorly screw threaded, as at 8, to which a hose or other implement may be attached. An annular flange 9 extends radially from the inner peripheral edge of the faucet, to

A pipe 10 extends longitudinally from the faucet 5-being connected to the wall i of the bore 6, through the medium of the screw threads 11. Threaded to the opposite end of the pipe is air bulbousshaped housing"12,1 having formed; integral therewith a pipe connection 12 which is-disposed at an acute angle, forapurpose-to belset forth" later;

At the jointure of the p'ipe conne ction with the housingan apertured" partition 14? is formed, providing a valve seat for the valve 15. This valve is of a substantially conical shape at one end and equipped at its reduced I endwith a washer 16securedtheretobythe screw 17. Screw threads 18 are arranged about the other or enlargedend of the valve a 15 and engage the interior screw threads 19 of the valve sleeve.20.- Thevalve sleeve 20 i is supported in a central longitudinalposition within the housing 12 by the brackets 21, so that the valve washer 16 will mally seated upon the valve seat 14:.

Secured to the valve 15 and extending therefrom is a valve rod 22, the opposite end of which is supported by an apertured cap be nor-.

23 threaded on the outer end ofthe faucet as at 24. l A packing nut 25 is threaded on the nipple 26 containing the packing 27and Y I formed integral with the cap 23. The outer end of the rod 22 is squared to receive a. wrench or other tool used in rotating the (not shown) and since this connection is proper drainage; Since the valve 15 is normally seated upon the valve seat .14,in order p to permit the passage of water through the 7 faucet, the valve rod22 is rotated, which in turn rotates the valve whichis lifted from its seatv by the movement of the screw threads.

tioular attention is called to thearrangement of the parts comprising theinvention, which places the valve'mechanism at sucha remote Attention is coalled to the fact that V 1 the rod 22 is also apertured throughout its,

length as at 28, to assist in the drainage; I In operation, the pipe connection 13"is' [connected to the main water supply pipe disposedat an'angle the pipe 10 will be disposed in an'inclined position, thus providing After sufiicient water has been" drawn, the rod is rotated in the opposite di-' rection, thusreversing .the movement of the screw threads, which clgses the valve. Par-- position from the faucet that it is impossible under normal conditions for Water in the same to become frozen.

It is to be understood that the foi-ni'of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that certain changes in the shape, sive and arrangement of parts may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit or the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims. 7 j

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim 1. In a device of the character described, a faucet, a pipe extending therefrom, a bulbous shaped housing; secured to the free end of the pipe, a valve sleeve supported centrally within the housing, a valve movable in said sleeve, a valve rod extending from said valve through the pipe and faucet, said faucet comprising a discharge pipe extending at an angle thereto.

2. In a device of the character described, a faucet, a valve mechanism, means connecting the valve mechanisinand faucet so as to position the valve mechanism at a distance from the faucet, said valve mechanism comprising a bulbous shaped housing surroundscrew threaded sleeve supportedcentrally of the housing, an exterior-1y screw threaded valve movable in the sleeve,"a valve seatupon which. the valve normally rests, and a pipe extension cast integral with the housing and at an angle thereto, so that when in use the faucet will be inclined downwardly to afford proper drainage.

In testimony whereof, I have atfixedmy signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
